Welcome to our Sleeper NBA DFS prop picks for Wednesday, October 25th. Today is the first full slate with 12 games available and last night both the Nuggets and Suns won their debut games. Throughout the year will be using RotoBaller's Top Prop Optimizer to see projections ahead of time and it will be a major factor in deciding which over/under to take each night.
Sleeper offers some of the best and easiest-to-win NBA DFS games in the industry. Sleeper DFS works just like regular player prop betting -- there are no large-field tournaments to get lost in. You're not playing against other people; you're just playing against the projections. Here are some of our favorite NBA prop picks for Wednesday's 12-game slate.
Announcement: We have two awesome new Props Optimizers for the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and NCAA! The PrizePicks Optimizer and Prop Bets Optimizer are both available in our new Props Premium Package, which includes exclusive access to RotoBaller's VIP Discord chat rooms for props and betting.
NBA DFS Props - Over/Under Picks for Wednesday, October 25th
Jayson Tatum OVER 21.5 Points
Although the optimizer doesn't favor this exact scenario, Sleeper is offering a discount on Jayson Tatum's points prop, and rightfully so. The Celtics added a ton of talent and until we see just exactly how that talent will be utilized, it's hard to be sold on high-scoring games from Tatum. He's managed to be underwhelming in that category before, but there's also a flip side to that.
Tatum is one of the league's more dynamic scorers and assuming the Celtics won't want to get him going early and often is assuming that Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis are going to steal stats, something they've rarely done in their careers. Holiday is a passive playmaker with a defensive mindset and Porzingis is an outside-in big man who keeps the lane open for himself and his teammates, allowing for easy alley-oops and putbacks. Tonight might not be the best night to gamble on Tatum, but he scores 22 points in his sleep and it's too early to buy into Boston playing perfect team basketball.
Chet Holmgren OVER Everything (Points)
Take your pick with which over you want for Chet Holmgren because the Optimizer absolutely loves him tonight against the Bulls. We will go with points, but points+rebounds is a close second and he has upside across the board. It's harder to find a prop to take the under with him on so make sure you don't overthink it and target his points, rebounds, or both.
Don't stray away from what he focuses on since it's the first game of the season and the projections are sure to be a little wonky. That being said, we basically know what Holmgren is getting into playing with this Thunder team, it's just a matter of him reaping the opportunities.
Saddiq Bey OVER 19.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists
Not the name you'd expect to see here, but one of the few consistent wing-shooters that also contributes across the board. We've all seen Saddiq Bey's ability to shoot, but rarely known is his defensive prowess that allows him to easily get rebounds, benefit from fast break points, and even keep him in the assist column every night.
It's not often you find a player that can do a little bit of everything each night without sacrificing his own statistical output, but Bey's found his role as a 3-and-D wing inside on offense run by two ball-dominant point guards. Very rarely will we ever see the best defender on him and with his continuing improvement each year he's going to crush these low over bets.
